Dear Mom,

These have been the longest days of my life. Time without you has stretched and on some level it feels like it's always been this way. It's horrible.

Alex and I went shopping yesterday and you'd be so proud of him-- he was open to trying on everything and anything! We're close to finding some really wonderful clothes.

You'd be even more proud of Steven and Paul. I caught them having a real Father/Son moment today with real words about real things. It made my heart burst.

The wash of condolences has slowed down and already I feel farther away from you until I start writing here and a heaviness settles on my chest and tears collect in my eyes. It's good to feel this way, I think. It's what I've got left of you.
